Long-running indie rock band Death Cab For Cutie just announced the band's 11th studio album, I Built You A Tower, will releasee on June 5 viaANTI-.
The record comes following the 20th anniversaries of core albums from both Death Cab and The Postal Service, which created a unique strain on Ben Gibbard and heavily influences the new effort.
“There’s this need to find a place in ourselves to put loss and grief,” he explains. “A place that can hold it so we can move on with our lives. But there are these moments where the trauma breaks out of that shell we created for it.” For Gibbard, that's the titular tower concept.
The band last released Asphalt Meadows in 2022.
